HAPPY NEW YEAR SPARKERS:

My new years resolution is to make 2015 healthier than last year. My goal is to be lighter than 168. I'm aiming to reach my goal weight of 139 or lower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been asked, Why am I doing this??? Why do I want to lose weight?? Why do I want to be healthy??

I have been overweight ever since I was 10 years old. I have always been the short chubby one that everyone loved, but I didn't really love myself. I always felt uncomfortable around people and wished to be athletic like my sister. My family always reminded me that I was overweight and always tried to guide me to healthy eating. They used to be annoying in my eyes. Now that I'm older, I know it was all out of love. Too bad I didn't take them more serious when I was 10.

I have been trying to be at a healthy weight since I turned 30 in 2006. I wanted my 30's to be all about getting healthy and getting my body together. Then in my 40's, I will be able to maintain and lead a healthy life for me and my family. I will be 39 years old on July 22nd, so my goal is really close and I'm praying to be able to accomplish it.

The older I get the more friends & family members I see with health issues. The unknown actually really scares me.

I could say that I'm trying to lead a healthy lifestyle for my family, but overall I'm doing this for ME. Right now I do not have any health problems and I want to prevent them for as long as I possibly can. The older I get the harder this journey becomes and my body just can't take being unhealthy any longer. I love the way that I feel when I'm totally on track with my nutrition & fitness. I have sooo much energy, I don't even know what to do with myself. My motivation is looking at pictures and reading about healthy women and men. By reading about their journeys through their ups and downs, helps to keep me motivated. I wish to be like them one day. Why do I have to wish for it? I could definitely get there if I focus and put my mind to doing it.

I totally don't like the way that I feel when I'm not on track. My body gets really ackey and I'm tired all time. I am definitley making this journey a lot harder than what it needs to be. I know what I need to do by keeping my nutrition in line and exercising daily. Why can't I just do it??

I am learning what my body likes and doesn't like. It's amazing on how different foods affect people differently. I thought that healthy eating was easy, but just because it may be healthy for one person it doesn't mean it's healthy for me. I've tried many different diet plans, but I am trying to make this a lifestyle change.

I have been looking for a nutritionist for the longest and I thank my husband for finding Alison. She has been an angel that came from heaven. She is guiding me to make my life healthier and healthier as I go through my journey. She tries her best to keep me in line and comes down on me when needed. Her drive and how much she cares, keeps me motivated and wanting to reach my goal. Not only for me, but also for her!

*********** HOW DID I MAKE IT? **************************

~ Created inspirational posters with my next goal weight each week. I look forward to it now, so does my 6 year old. Maya understands why I want to lose weight and be healthy.

~ Set small goals, 2 lbs a week because slow and steady always wins the race.

True changes only happen when YOU decide to make them happen. ============================

We can't change the past, but we can change today ============================

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step ============================

One DAY at a time, One POUND at time! ============================

Thinking before you act ============================

TWO steps forward and ONE step backwards is still PROGRESS.... ============================

This is not a contest or a race, where every little misstep could mean the difference between winning and losing. It's your life!============================

Stop the excuses, recognize those excuses, own up to those excuses and drop them! The weight loss will follow! ============================

"A book is written one page at a time, A journey is taken one step at a time, Our lives are lived one day at a time, Make your goals attainable, Small goals build upon themselves and turn into big achievements. ============================

"I am done being the biggest one in my family! I am Done shopping in the plus sizes!! I am DONE making excuses! I am DEFINITELY DONE living an unhealthy life!!"

Take Care Of Yer Friends Friend is a word that I don’t throw around Though it’s used and abused, I still like the sound. I save it for people who’ve done right by me And I know I can count on if ever need be.

Some of my friends drive big limousines Own ranches and banks and visit with queens. And some of my friends are up to their neck In overdue notes and can’t write a check.

They’re singers or ropers or writers of prose And others, God bless ‘em, can’t blow their own nose! I guess bein’ friends don’t have nothin’ to do With talent or money or knowin’ who’s who.

It’s a comf’terbul feelin’ When you don’t have to care ‘Bout choosin’ your words or bein’ quite fair ‘Cause friends’ll just listen and let go on by Those words you don’t mean and not bat an eye.

It makes a friend happy to see your success. They’re proud of yer good side and forgive all the rest And that ain’t so easy, all of the time, Sometimes I get crazy and seem to go blind!

Yer friend just might have to take you on home Or remind you sometime that you’re not alone. Or ever so genfiy pull you back to the ground When you think you can fly with no one around.

A hug or a shake, whichever seems right Is the high point of givin’, I’ll tell ya tonight, All worldly riches and tributes of men Can’t hold a candle to the worth of a friend.

~~~~Life is like a movie~~~~ If you are sad ..it's DRAMA If you are afraid....it's SUSPENSE If you are angry...that's ACTION When you look in the mirror..now that's HORROR Now you are smiling..That's COMEDY ~~~~Enjoy your movie~~~~
